In the title match Sun-

the Spokane Foxes FC
Premier, Cheney fell
behind early but tied the
game at One on a Cone

Cone gave Cheney the
lead midway through
the second hall and Kai-
tlin Teeters scored with
five minutes to play on
a low line drive from 25
yards out to ice the game
and title.
Cone scored in ev-
ery game and had eight
goals for the tourna-
ment. Scott also praised
the goalkeeping of Jessie
Quacquarini and the
play of the Storm mid-
fielders.
"Midfield possession.
and passing to hold the
ball and transition to
attack was spectacular
throughout the tourna-
ment, not allowing the
opponents much time
with the ball at all,"
Scott said.
